The Finished Hallway

Hi guys! It's me, Mitch!
First of all - thank you so much for all of your help on my peepee issue! You can't imagine how much better mom feels about this! She's thinking that maybe I am pretty normal after all! Geez, mom!

As you can see, the staging is down in the hallway and the walls are white and the trim is Martha Stewart Mourning Dove and the floors have been washed and waxed (Maggie doesn't come upstairs) and some of the furniture is back in place.

The stairs backs have had their last coat of paint and the stencil is complete. We tried to convince mom that Airedales should be running along the stairs but she wasn't buying it this time. Oh well~

This cupboard used to be navy blue and mom wanted to brighten it up so she painted it with the Mourning Dove and stenciled on it too. The cupboard holds lots of mom's sweaters.

Mom has sure had fun painting and sprucing up the hallway and the bathroom. She says they both have been very rewarding projects! So what's next, mom?

That's a very beautiful hallway which looks so bright and so neat!!! I like the white walls and Martha Stewart Mourning Dove seems a very sweet colour. The floor is cool and those paintings on the walls look interesting too! The cupboard is very pretty!But I was shocked to know that Airedales should be running along the stairs!!!

Oh, my doGness! Your mom does such great work! Your hallway looks fabulous (even though there are no Airedales)! We need to borrow your mom for a while! Every time our mom thinks about doing something to our walls, she realizes all the furniture has to be moved and she gives up the idea!

Your Mom did a great job!! We can't imagine being able to paint in the Winter time - Mom tried it once in our house and the walls started weeping - so she hasn't tried it again - and she's wanting to give our living room an update.

Hi Mitch! That hall looks so crisp and beautifully done from tip to toe! Just LOVE the colors on walls and that floor is to die for! And your Mom's sweater cabinet is simply lovely too! Wow!Hugs xoxoxoSammie, Avalon and Oz

We have a big hallway that could use your Mom. Our Mom knows just what she wants to do with it, but she thinks she may have to hire someone to paint it because she and Dad don't like heights.Morgan, Tsar and the Porties

Hi Maggie and Mitch, your house sure looks nice. My pawrents were thinking that maybe your mom could paint our house too. We could all play and you guys could meet Sunshade and Jaffa too. We'll stock up on treats :)

OH wow, it looks wonderful. Mom heard on one of our radio home decorating shows last week that all shades of "dove" are the new "in" color. The stencil work is so neatly done and so beautiful. Wonder what she will do next.

Good evening! Wow! The house is looking great. Did you help Mitch? By the way, I can hold my pee from 10 at night until 8 in the morning, no probs! I like to choose just the right place to poo too. We boys just take a bit more care! Have a fun week. Oscar (and Ros)

oh my gosh m & m!your mom is finished already?it looks fabulous!she needs a show on hgtv!she is a one woman crew that does magic without the behind the scenes 25+ crew that they have!wow!it is beautiful!xoxoxom & e

That looks absolutely beautiful!! I love it so much!! Someday I'm going to have to do something with this house but I'll have to hire somebody to do it. The only thing that gets painted is myself if I try! You must be really proud with good reason!! Lovely! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly

Mommy and are so happy to be back to blogging again but we gots so much catching up to do. I didn't think you'd mind Autumn coming for a visit on my blog. Now it's your turn, it will be awhile before I get to the "m" but can you send a picture of each of you.

Your mom is very clever with her painting and stencilling - the hall looks beautiful - of course a little airedale here and there would have just finished the whole thing off........Remember to try the paw prints - that would be cool.loveMartha and Bailey xxx

It looks stunning-very bright and cheerful, just the kind of sprucing up you need this time of year!Give your Mom a pat on the back, or a big kiss, or something to show your appreciation for all of her hard work!

Hello M and M: You two are so fun. Your mom picked a nice color and has really been busy. I've been painting some old tables white and love the difference it makes.Love your banner picture in the snow. We had that stuff here too.

All About Molly

I am Molly the AireGirl. My brother, Mitch, and my sister, Maggie, are now angels at Rainbow Bridge so I am going to carry on the blog that Angel Maggie started. Maggie was a Companion L'Aire AireGirl just like I am. Dad bought Mitch at a puppy store but he was born in Missouri. Mackie is a special AireBoy from Missouri too.
Thank you, Maggie, for teaching mom and dad to love the Airedale breed. If it weren't for you, none of us would be here♥
